The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

"The grace of enlightenment?"

Bai Gui shook his head and said nothing more. Google search reading

This time, he used the golden elixir to clear up Li Longji's confusion. For Li Longji, it was indeed a blessing to achieve enlightenment.

Not everyone can figure out Li Longji’s mystery!

Even if ordinary people tell Li Longji that he is not the Human Emperor and can practice, Li Longji will not be able to practice Taoism. Taoist cultivation does not mean that you can practice Taoism only with qualifications. As the saying goes, both life and life are cultivated. Li Longji's "fate" was enough, but his "nature" was still trapped in his own body, and he had no innate ability to practice Taoism.

In Buddhist terms, the previous Li Longji was not enlightened and had no wisdom!

Therefore, Bai Gui's several awakenings actually used great magic power to help Li Longji see his true nature, break through the obstacles, see the light, and gain the wisdom to practice Taoism.

Of course, if Li Longji can come out with great wisdom, he can also embark on the road.

But..., this possibility is very slim. An emperor who is addicted to imperial power, drinking and sex, if he wants to come out again, the price will be much higher than that of ordinary people, and he may not be able to come out for the rest of his life.

For Bai Gui to display this kind of magic power, the cost is not small. If it weren't for his Fuxi power and his ability to deduce heavenly secrets, it would be extremely difficult for even Jindan Zhenren to figure out how to break through Li Longji's confusion without straining his muscles and bones.

"Does Your Majesty still want to regain control of the country now?"

Bai Gui pondered for a while and asked.

If Li Longji's answer is "I want to", then he should be able to cultivate the necessary merits for himself and complete the task of eliminating calamity in the human world in about ten more years of power. At worst, he will return the power to Li Longji. That’s all.

Taijia of the Shang Dynasty did not practice virtue, so Yi Yin imprisoned Taijia in Tong Palace to supervise the administration of the country. Nowadays, Li Longji is not a virtuous person and has done bad deeds in Jiangnan three times. It is reasonable for him to follow the example of the ancients.

"Emperor Taijia has been in office for three years, but he is unclear, tyrannical, disobedient to the Tang law, and disorderly in morality, so Yi Yin banishes Yu Tong Palace. For three years, Yi Yin took charge of the country and served as court to the princes. Emperor Taijia lived in Tong Palace. After three years, he repented, blamed himself, and did good, so Yi Yin welcomed Taijia and taught him government." - "Historical Records·Yin Benji"

Li Longji was silent for a while.

It is a lie to say that he no longer wants to be in charge of the government. But now he has tried the benefits of practicing Taoism. Although he is still in his prime, he already has some stubborn diseases. When he was building the foundation for a hundred days just now, his qi and blood were active and his muscles and bones were reshaped. Although he did not look like a boy again. Such an exaggeration, but my own physique is completely different from the past, and I can feel the change in the essence of my life...

But if he becomes the Human Emperor again..., cultivating immortality will really be just a dream!

"Bai Qing doesn't need to test me anymore..."

"I know which one is better: immortality in cultivation or wealth in the world. In fact... think about it. When I went to Jiangnan, although I was still the emperor, I did not hold great power, and I never felt the slightest disappointment. Why did I end up after returning to Chang'an? , but you are still attached to this?"

Li Longji laughed at himself and said slowly.

He went to Jiangnan three times, and the government was handed over to Bai Gui. He had power in his hands, but he basically never used it.

At that time, there was no worry about gains and losses these days.

He has not completely explored power, but his obsession has almost dissipated at this time.

So, the next day.

Li Longji issued an edict, agreeing that the Shou King Li Mao would ascend the throne as the emperor, while he himself would become the Supreme Emperor and still live in the Zichen Palace. From then on, he would practice Taoism and no longer interfere with worldly affairs.

Although the government and the public were greatly puzzled by this, there was nothing they could do about it.

Anyway, there were many emperors in the Tang Dynasty, including one like Li Longji. It is well known to everyone that Li Longji admires Taoism. Now that he has seen through the world of mortals, he has become a monk and practiced Taoism. It seems to be an excusable thing.

At the same time, some court officials reported that now that Shou Wang Li Hao has ascended the throne as emperor, Concubine Wu Hui should be conferred the title of Queen Mother to fulfill her filial piety.

These two moves are combined to punch down.

The court was solemn and solemn, thus completely reducing Bai Gui's speech.

After taking complete control of the court, Bai Gui also urgently needed prestige to stabilize his position again, so he sent 100,000 troops with generals Zhang Shougui, Wang Zhongsi and others to attack the Turks.

The reason for attacking the Turks.

The first is to perform a full set of performances. Although the Turks did not attack the northern border of Datang this year, there was something in the battle report. The second is that now that Nanzhao and Tubo have been destroyed, the Tang Dynasty has countless opponents, and only the Turks are worth fighting.

Starting from the attack on Tubo Kingdom in the third year of Kaiyuan, although the Tang army won consecutive battles, it consumed countless manpower and material resources for five years. This was a national war!

People are tired and need to recuperate.

Then Bai Gui became prime minister, majoring in internal affairs and not caring about foreign enemies, so the Tang Dynasty had not fought another war for a long time.

However... in attacking the Turks this time, Bai Gui not only intended to consolidate his position through victory in foreign wars, but also intended to use this as an opportunity to vigorously develop domestic affairs.

Therefore, this war is not like Li Weigong's thousands of miles to attack and destroy the Eastern Turks. He will win quickly.

This time to attack the Turks, we are fighting a war of national strength and attrition!

"The Tang Dynasty is rich in minerals, but there is a shortage of soldiers? Then start mining and smelting iron!"

"Didn't the truth turn out that yellow explosives were developed when the furnace was used to refine elixirs? Using this material to quarry and refine minerals must ensure that all our officers and men have armor to wear..."

"To transport grain from Bashu to Daibei and Longxi, it takes ten shi of grain to transport one and a half shi... This is indeed a problem. The Qin Dynasty built Chidao and Yongdao, and our Tang Dynasty can also use this to build Chidao. This move will benefit the country and the people..."

"It is not allowed to impose corvee services. Although the people of the world have some spare time apart from farming, if the corvée service is imposed for a long time, the people will be resentful..."

In the political hall, Bai Gui handled political affairs with ease, and issued political orders from Chang'an to the whole country.

He knew very well that if he took too big a step, he would get hurt.

So the reason for attacking Turks this time was that Turks were just a catfish thrown into the territory of the Tang Dynasty. With the Turks, he could find reasons to allow all walks of life in the Tang Dynasty to develop rapidly.

One year, two years, three years….

The people of the Tang Dynasty discovered that although the imperial court did not use Huang Lao to govern the country and recuperate over the years, but instead went to war against the Xiongnu during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, their lives were not poor. Although they did not have much money in their pockets, they had enough money left at home. There are more and more "heirlooms" handed down, such as iron knives and plows, as well as the cotton clothes worn on the body, quilts at home, and the number of livestock raised day by day.

At the same time, the Turkic state was also destroyed by the Tang Dynasty's repeated attacks.

After the Turkic Kingdom was destroyed, the Tang Dynasty's power once again extended to the Western Regions and Persia. Thanks to the newly built "Chidao", the Tang Dynasty's control over the territory was much deeper than before. There is no phenomenon that can be treated but cannot be treated.

Eight years later, the entire Tang Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes!

After conquering the Turks and relying on his strong national power, Bai Gui once again ordered his generals to go to various parts of the world and established protective palaces around the world to maintain his rule.

…

Chang'an, Zongshenguan.

Laojun Hall.

Side hall, inner room.

Bai Gui walked in from outside the palace.

There are four futons placed in the hall, and there is only one at the front. Master Hou Shaowei is sitting cross-legged on it, closing his eyes tightly. The remaining three futons are arranged side by side, with people sitting on the left and right, namely senior brother Zhou Wenxuan and junior sister Yang Yuhuan.

"Junior brother, you are here."

Zhou Wenxuan stood up, gave a Taoist bow, and then sat down.

Logically speaking, as the senior brother, he should not pay tribute to his junior brother, but who made him, the second junior brother, so promising? Now he is the powerful prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and he is also the leader of thousands of people who set up temples to worship, and his cultivation level has leapt Living above him is only inferior to Master Hou Shaowei.

If he maintains his own identity, he can do it. However, if you give a gift, it is just an ordinary greeting gift. There is no distinction between superiority and inferiority, so you can get along better.

"Second senior brother."

When Yang Yuhuan saw Bai Gui walking in, her beautiful eyes lit up and she called softly.

Compared with her cold relationship with her senior brother Zhou Wenxuan, her relationship with Bai Gui is much closer. On the one hand, Bai Gui personally sent her to Zong Sheng Temple and became Hou Shaowei's disciple, which left a deep impression on her. On the other hand, it was also because her father was an official of Bai Gui and had a deep friendship with Bai Gui.

"Little junior sister."

Bai Gui nodded and replied.

He took a look at Yang Yuhuan by the way, and he hadn't seen him for more than two months.

Women's eighteen-year-old transformation makes people feel more and more amazing.

Yang Yuhuan has been a beauty since she was a child. Now she has practiced Taoism for more than fourteen years and is already a nearly twenty-year-old girl. However, due to religious practice, it is impossible for Yan to be thin and fat. Although Yang Yuhuan now has an exquisite figure and some baby fat on her face, she is still far from plump.

He sat on the futon.

Hou Shaowei opened his eyes and said: "Your junior sister often had a dream more than ten days ago. In the dream, she saw Qionglou Yuyu, and saw the clear sea waves. She should be gradually realizing her past..."

"Miwa, what do you think of this?"

He spoke in a veiled manner, but did not speak clearly.

But as one of the people in the world, Bai Gui understood what Hou Shaowei meant. Now that Yang Yuhuan has begun to awaken to his past, he must have dreamed about himself as the Penglai Fairy.

After achieving the golden elixir, you will also be able to break through the past.

Past life is not a taboo word for Taoists. Many monks will gradually understand their past lives on the way to Taoism.

So now Hou Shaowei is asking if he should tell Yang Yuhuan that he is Penglai Fairy.

Even deeper meaning.

If it is an ordinary past life, recalling it is just recalling it.

It cannot affect this life.

But Yang Yuhuan was the Penglai Fairy in her previous life. If she awakens from her past life... it's hard to say whether Yang Yuhuan is Yang Yuhuan by then.

Decision, there should be a decision!

"My junior sister has always been close to me...how could I bear to let her become another person?"

"Besides, talking about the immortal calamity, Yang Yuhuan is her, and she is also Yang Yuhuan."

Bai Gui thought for a while and replied.

He has now reached the fifth level of the elixir, and can be regarded as an expert. When the golden elixir is completed, he will not be afraid at all, even if Fairy Penglai has never descended to earth to experience calamity.

On the golden elixir road, once the body is flawless, that is, the flawless golden elixir, one will become an earthly immortal.

The so-called immortals such as Penglai Fairy are just immortals who live in the cave. In terms of strength, they are almost the same as earth immortals. In terms of potential, he may climb to the level of heavenly immortal. However, for immortals like Penglai Fairy, it is difficult to improve. sky.

There is also a difference between immortals and gods.

If he becomes an Earth Immortal and is a disciple of Taishang Taoism, in terms of status, Fairy Penglai really cannot compare to him.

"Second Senior Brother? What are you and Master talking about?"

"What am I am..."

Yang Yuhuan asked hurriedly with a look of confusion on his face.

"Little Junior Sister, don't worry. I will tell you after the Second Junior Brother and Master have finished talking."

Zhou Wenxuan shook his head and spoke softly.
